Dorothy Ashby made the harp swing on Hip Harp, and this Spanish import presents the 1958 classic on 180-gram orange vinyl, with bonus tracks added.

The Detroit-born harpist was a true pioneer, proving that an instrument most people associated with orchestras and angels could hold its own in bebop. Recorded for Prestige, the album pairs her with flutist Frank Wess, bassist Herman Wright and drummer Art Taylor, a lineup that keeps things light on its feet but unmistakably jazz.

Pawky opens with a sly, bluesy strut, Ashby's plucked lines dancing around Wess's breathy flute, while Moonlight in Vermont turns the standard into something shimmering and dreamlike. Back Talk lets the quartet trade ideas with real bite, and her take on Dancing in the Dark glides along with an elegance that never loses its groove.

Ashby's approach was radical in its quiet way, using the harp's chiming resonance the way a guitarist or pianist might, comping, soloing and swinging all at once. Later generations of crate-digging producers would fall hard for her records, a sign of how far ahead of her time she was.

With extra tracks added to the original program, this edition is a lovely way to discover one of jazz's most original voices.
